Italy has thwarted multiple cyberattacks linked to Moscow, aimed at its Foreign Ministry and facilities related to the Winter Olympics, including hotels in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani noted that these actions were of Russian origin and confirmed the attacks ahead of the Olympics opening ceremony scheduled for Friday.
